Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour make sure it is fresh
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup low fat milk
  • ½ cup grape seed oil may substitute canola oil
  • 1 ½ cups fresh blackberries roughly chopped
  • Streusel Topping from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook:
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions
 

  • Place your oven rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare two 12 cup muffin pans with paper liners or wiping with a thin coating of oil.
  • In a medium mixing bowl: use a fork to combine dry ingredients – flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large mixing bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer): beat eggs and sugar on low/medium speed until they become light in color and double in volume. Continue mixing on low speed while adding the yogurt, milk and oil.
  • Gently mix in the dry ingredients adding ⅓ of mixture at a time. Mix just enough for incorporate the dry into the liquid. Use a wooden spoon or silicon spatula, and light hand, to fold the blackberries into the muffin batter. Fold the batter over 3 -5 times, just enough to distribute the fruit throughout the batter - without dying the entire mixture purple.
  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon for the topping. Use a fork or your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until it becomes the texture of wet sand.
  • Portion the batter into the prepared muffin cups so they are approximately ⅔ full - a scant ¼ cup of batter. Sprinkle the streusel mixture over the muffin tops.
  • Place the pans into the preheated oven to bake 17-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let the muffins cool completely before serving. Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container.
